After lunch, Zhu Yujia ordered his deputy battalion commander Feng Gang to take a company to meet with Li Yuanyin's infantry to discuss the ambush in the valley, and he took several other company commanders to ride to the north gourd mouth of the valley to inspect the hidden ambush terrain, Lin Xiao found Situ Zheng, turned on the knapsack radio, and called Zhang Chenfeng.

"Captain, we have reached the bridgehead north of Yangqiao, Kong Youde's forward is in front of us, and we are across the river, they are all cavalry, there are musketeers, and I don't see the artillery." Zhang Chenfeng on the other end of the radio spoke very quickly.

"Received, don't startle the snakes, just hold the bridge, the musketeers will shoot them when they come up, and the rest of the cavalry will be solved with sabers, and you must guard until Kong Youde's main force arrives."

"Understood!"

"Is that river wide? Be careful with the dumplings that are wrapped. ”

"The river is only about ten meters wide, but it stretches for dozens of miles, and they can't get around it without a bridge."

"Okay, send people to patrol along the river, and give them a shuttle if they see someone building a bridge." Lin Xiao commanded in a deep voice.

"Roger! They're going to attack, and they're closing the line. ”

Zhang Chenfeng put away the walkie-talkie, stepped on the war horse and ran to Li Yuanyin at the bridgehead, shouting loudly to the soldiers of the reconnaissance company guarding along the riverbank along the way: "Listen up, when you see the musketeers and archers coming forward, you will open fire, and the knife and card players don't care." ”

At the head of the bridge, Li Yuanyin, who was in the lead, held a war knife in his hand, standing still under the banner of the commander, and several teams of personal soldiers behind him also sat on horseback, quietly waiting for the enemy cavalry to charge.

After a while, only to hear the sound of the horn on the other side, a small group of cavalry horses and swords rushed towards the wooden bridge, Li Yuanyin saw that there were only about a hundred cavalry rushing towards him, and he knew that this was a tentative attack, so he did not hesitate to draw his sword, and rushed onto the wooden bridge with a knife, and more than 100 personal soldiers followed closely behind him, and collided with the Qing army squad as soon as he rushed across the wooden bridge.

It was a pure hand-to-hand fight, with both sides battling each other with horsemanship, slashing skills, and courage.

Li Yuanyin and the others knew that there was a strong army in the rear, and they fought hard without any worries, but the Qing army team knew that they were just the first wave of cannon fodder squads, and they had no intention of dying at all.

Li Yuanyin did not chase after them, put away the remains of more than a dozen comrades-in-arms, rode across the bridge and returned to the opposite bank to continue to wait.

Zhang Chenfeng quietly watched the battlefield, and saw that Li Yuanyin, who was a little thin, was the first to move forward, and his riding skills were exquisite, his swordsmanship was proficient, and his demeanor as a famous general was fully revealed, and he couldn't help but secretly admire.

It didn't take long for the second wave of the Qing army's attack on the other side of the river to begin, and hundreds of enemy horsemen were seen riding forward unhurriedly, but when they were 100 meters away from the river bank, they dismounted one after another, and under the command of a cavalry school, they quickly formed a team in several rows, holding arquebus guns, three-eyed guns, guns and even poisonous rockets, and other various firearms, and hurriedly lit the torch, poured gunpowder, and loaded projectiles.

When everything was done, the cavalry raised his long knife and shouted the order, and all the musketeers marched forward in unison with their shotguns, and when they had to go about a hundred paces, the cavalry school could swing their swords and give the order to fire.

Zhang Chenfeng smiled coldly when he saw this, and he didn't know how this kind of motley shotgun team killed the Ming army to the ground?

There was nothing to be fussy about, and he immediately raised his sniper rifle and raised his hand to shoot first, and the cavalry school fell to the ground before he could swing his sword.

"Dada...... Dada. ”

Zhang Chenfeng's gunshot was an order, only to hear a dense burst of M4 carbine gunfire here, and few of the hundreds of people on the other side of the bank were standing in the blink of an eye, and the remaining few big ones crawled into the small forest next to them.

And then...... Nothing then.

Li Yuanyin and the others waited in vain all afternoon, and Liu Chengzu, the leading officer of the Qing army, did not dare to order the charge.

With such a ferocious musket as Nima, who would dare to step forward and send him to death? Let's wait for the main force to come.

In this way, the two teams confronted each other across the river until it was getting late, and the main force of the Qing army finally arrived with neighing horses.

When Kong Youde arrived at Yangqiao, it was already dark, and after listening to the report of the forward officer Liu Chengzu on the battle situation, Kong Youde stepped forward and raised his monocular to quietly inspect the opposite bank.

I saw that several groups of cavalry gathered near the wooden bridge in front, several large flags embroidered with the words "Ming" and "Li" were waving in the wind, there were Ming cavalry swimming along the river on both sides, the total number was probably a thousand people, there was a small forest not far behind, and the forest was dark and could not see the movement clearly.

Kong Youde put down the binoculars in wonder, who would be General Li? Isn't Li Chengdong dead? This nasty river can't be crossed without a bridge, and it's impossible for tens of thousands of people to cross it with just one bridge.

"Order the three armies, camp on the spot, and launch an attack tomorrow morning."

After thinking for a moment, Kong Youde ordered in a deep voice.

That night, Li Yuanyin ordered people to light a bonfire every 100 meters along the river bank upstream and downstream, countless bonfires stretched for more than ten miles to illuminate the river, Zhang Chenfeng sent sentries to swim along the river to guard against the Qing army from sneaking up at night, Kong Youde was honest when he saw this, he was not prepared for a night attack at all, and he didn't say anything all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Chengzu commanded the Qing cavalry to launch several waves of charges, and Li Yuanyin calmly commanded, under the guidance of Zhang Chenfeng's team of musketeers, the enemy cavalry was repelled again and again.

Seeing this, Kong Youde gave an order, and several red-clothed cannons were launched in the array, and the muzzles of the cannons pointed directly at the bridgehead, Li Yuanyin knew very well, and knew that the range of this kind of cannon could reach a thousand steps away, so he and Zhang Chenfeng led the troops to retreat.

When the Qing army brigade stepped forward to build a temporary bridge, they roared out of the woods again, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company did not stop, firing while riding their horses, Li Yuanyin's cavalry even rushed to within 100 steps, and they all pulled their bows and arrows to shoot at the Qing army, and killed the Qing army by the river, and the corpses were lying all over the riverbank.

When Kong Youde commanded the cavalry to go forward and fight, Li Yuanyin's army made another whistle, turned his horse's head and retreated quickly, and the soldiers of the broken reconnaissance company shot backwards while fleeing, and the Qing soldiers who chased fast gave their lives in vain.

This repeated several times, the Qing army continued to suffer blows, but could not catch up with the Ming army, Kong Youde was so angry that his nose was crooked, seeing that the Ming army only had a total of about 1,000 people, and there was no follow-up reinforcement at all, he angrily ordered the cavalry battalion to pursue at the risk of death, regardless of the casualties, and tightly biting the tail of the Ming army.

In this way, the Ming army fled for a while and stopped, and the Qing army also chased and stopped, and the two teams were like cats chasing mice, or mice playing cats, running hundreds of meters apart and stopping for a while, and gradually heading towards Binyang.

Later, the Qing army brigade also accelerated its march and followed, because it was already a plain area, and it only took half a day to chase to Binyang County, which was fifty miles away.

At this time, Binyang was already an empty city, as early as when the city of Binzhou fell, the people of Binyang had fled, most of them fled into the deep mountains of the ancient ugly mountains more than ten miles away to avoid the war, and a Ming army originally stationed here also fled when they heard the wind, and retreated to the direction of Kunlun Pass in the ancient ugly mountains.

Li Yuanyin and Zhang Chenfeng followed the plan, went around the city, and retreated straight to the Guqiao Mountain Pass in Xinqiao Town, ten miles away, Li Yuanyin commanded the cavalry to line up outside the mountain pass, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company and the machine gun platoon immediately went up the mountain to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the mountain pass, and six machine guns and two mortars quickly built a firing position, prepared ammunition and waited for the Qing army to attack the mountain.
